I'm not a skydiver but this sounds logical to me. Like most of us know with Harry's experience most likely he would have recovered had he been conscious. Thank you for the info Janna. Although we never met, Harry told me a lot about you so I feel like I know you. Today, I was listening to the recordings Harry made of our flights together...it was difficult but at the same time nice to hear his voice and remember all the good he did. It turns out I will make it to the memorial at LGB Flight Club, hope to meet some of you there. Rudi

Thank you for the info Janna. I will be at the Club from 8-10am then I have to drive to Glendale for work but I'm going to try my hardest to make it back to the Club for Harry's Memorial Service. Will you be there? I can't begin to express my sorrow for your loss. Harry will live on in all of us that know how great of a person he was. I have informed a few others not on this forum of the memorial service. Take care, Rudi

Thank you for sharing those pictures Jack. I only have a few pics of Harry from a few of our flights. I'll try to dig up the pictures I have and post them up... God damn! I'm going to miss him. :(

Hey everyone. I joined this site today to send my condolences to Janna and Harry's friends here on the forum. I'm not a skydiver but I am a pilot, one that was trained by the best pilot out there, Harry. I met Harry several years ago when I joined Long Beach Flight School. Someone told me he was the best so the next day Harry and I had our first flight. Up to that point I had been flying already for many years but hadn't finished up my private. Harry and I flew all over together... from Catalina to have Buffalo burgers up to Paso Robles to get the keys to my mom's new house. He helped me finish up my Private Pilot's license and took me 99% through my Instrument rating. Being the best instructor out there Harry recorded all of our flight and ground sessions so I could later review what we had just done. I recently started to review our Instrument flights and I know that now they will be difficult to listen to. I flew with him at the beginning of this year but due to conflicting schedules I haven't not flown with him since but I spoke to him just a couple weeks ago for about an hour or so...just catching up and talking about how great it is to fly together and how we should go flying soon. Harry was truly a dedicated instructor and a great friend. I am still in complete shock about his death...it really is surreal. His good friend and former skydiving buddy and my current instructor Monte called me yesterday morning to give me the news. We are all deeply saddened by the loss of such a great friend and as busy as this world is, with Harry gone the sky's and our lives will feel that much emptier. Blue Skies Harry.....We'll miss you!
